Congratulations to Grant K0GDB on his FB SolderSmoke Direct Conversion receiver. Welcome to the Hall of Fame Grant! That PTO former is especially FB! Grant is a relatively new ham, making his smooth construction of this receiver even more admirable.

Proof of life video! Many thanks for the helpful YouTube tutorials, everything went together pretty smoothly.
The windings are actually as close to the specification as I could get them on the nanoVNA. It's been a bit since I built that part, but if memory serves I had one fewer turn and had to do some bunching to get it to read correctly. The main difference in the PTO is that I made the former on a laser cutter from slices of quarter-inch plywood since I don't have a 3d printer. The center cyllinder is actually just rolled up paper.
